Corporate compliance and secretarial work

Keep your company and trust records in order, so you can focus on your business

Running a company or trust comes with legal obligations that sit alongside your tax and accounting requirements. Records must be kept up to date, changes must be notified to the Companies Office within set timeframes, and missed filings can lead to penalties or even removal of your company from the register. BSB Accounting takes care of these requirements for you, whether you are setting up a new company or managing an established one.

Setting up your company

Choosing the right structure from the start saves time and cost later. We can:

• Incorporate your new company through the Companies Office

• Advise on directors, shareholders and shareholdings

• Set up your share register and statutory registers from day one

• Provide a registered office or address for service, if required

Keeping your company up to date

Once your company is running, we manage its ongoing obligations, including:

• Annual returns: filing your Companies Office annual return on time, each year

• Changes to your company: updating director, shareholder and address details with the Companies Office

• Shares: preparing share issues and share transfers, and keeping your share register current

• Resolutions and minutes: drafting directors' and shareholders' resolutions and minutes for key decisions

• Statutory registers: maintaining the records your company must keep, such as the interests register

Closing a company

When a company is no longer needed, we can manage the process of removing it from the Companies Office register, including making sure its accounting and tax affairs are finalised first.

Trust compliance

The Trusts Act 2019 sets out clear record-keeping duties for trustees. We help trustees understand and meet these obligations by:

• Keeping the trust's core documents and financial records in order

• Preparing the trust's annual financial statements

• Meeting the trust's annual reporting requirements with Inland Revenue
